Jan 2021 A query cropped up today and I couldn't answer it. I was born in Solihull Hospital Maternity Section - Dr R L Washington doing the honors. His practice was in Lyndon Road close to the cinema. He took on a partner Dr Robinson. I need to find out (if someone can remember) the name of the third Doctor who joined the practice when Dr Washington retired. Thanks, Peter. (Old Brummie)

Hi, would this have been Dr Freeman?

Vivienne I don't recognize this photo as there is a Brick Wall behind the group. But I do remember a huge celebration which was held on the farm land behind the Milking Sheds, opposite our house in Lyndon Road (No 279) but I am not sure if it was in the late 1945 or early '46.
It was for one and all and fancy dress for the children.

Probably a bit late, but I only joined today! Dr Washington was my first GP in the 1950s - very distinguished, doing home visits in his smart Rover. His partner was Dr Robinson, and it was indeed Dr Freeman who took over from Dr W. I remember the surgery waiting room with deep leather settees and medical cartoons on the walls. Also the long queue along Lyndon Road for vaccinations during the smallpox scare (1962?) - John Merrick.
